Should Cities and States Adopt School Voucher Programs?

Should Cities and States Adopt School Voucher Programs?

School vouchers come in many forms, but all of them would provide parents with money to spend on the schools of their choice. We all want to provide our children with the best education possible -- but are voucher programs tools of change or misguided panaceas?

    Think of something new

    You can't seem to think of anything against vouchers other than saying it somehow promotes religion. Do you have evidence that our current school system is superior to a voucher system?

    Government is NOT supporting Religion

    The government is not supporting religion with vouchers. It is the equivelant of someone getting a goverment Pell grant and using it to go to Notre Dame. I attended private, parochial and public schools. The "Lutheran" school I attended had maybe 10% Lutherans. Most students were there because their parents cared about a good education. My parents sacrificed deeply to send us to good schools, while still paying high taxes for mediocre public schools. This is not a religious issue.

    i think you're missing the ball.

    you seem to have a prejudice against religions but your fears are not even presented nor are they applicable, if i can surmise their substance. The law of prejudice doesn't pan out in reality. you need congnative reason. clean up your post and say what you mean. we do not carry your prejudices. explain yourself better so we can more clearly shoot you down.
